Concanavalin A (Con A) is a widely used lectin that selectively binds to the glycoproteins, a-mannopyranosyl and a-glucopyranosy. These are commonly found in the cell wall of yeast and fungi, and the cell membrane of mammalian cells and tissues.
- Stain the cell wall of yeast and fungi, and the cell membrane of mammalian cells and tissues
- Detect glycoconjugates in microscopy and flow cytometry
- Stain glycoproteins in gels
- Withstands fixation and permeabilization
- Choice of 11 CF® Dyes from UV to near-infrared
- Superior CF® Dyes are bright, photostable, and water-soluble
Lectins are also versatile probes for detecting glycoconjugates in microscopy and flow cytometric applications and for gel staining of glycoproteins. In neutral and alkaline solutions, Con A exists as a tetramer with a molecular weight of approximately 104 kDa. In acidic solutions (pH below 5.0), Con A exists as a dimer. Con A can be used to selectively stain the cell surface of live cells, and withstand fixation and permeabilization. When cells are fixed and permeabilized before staining, fluorescent lectins stain both cell surface and organelles in the secretory pathway.
